Old farmer Skinner squints his eye, "Them boys may be gone for good! That priest got them all wound up and they hauled off in the night. I know where they headed. There's a old pile of ruins north of Wickersham along the overland road that leads to Iron Mountain. It's about twelve mile or so. Last time them boys were here, they broke the symbol of Adalbern. Me missus done patched it up, but I don't know if there's enough paste to patch them boys up. Maybe you can do something to get rid of that priest?"

He hands you a small sack of silver, "I got this off the boys. Put it to good use for us."

The trip northward would take a full day, you realize that preparations may be in order this day for a trip in the morrow.

Upon returning to Wickersham, the group meets with Farlo, Captain of the Guard. Walking beside him is a tall man in chain mail. He strides with the purposeful grace of a panther. His armor is unadorned, yet well cared for.

"This is Balthar. He's looking for work. Lord Miles requests that you appraise his skills on your next foray into the wild." With that, Farlo turns and walks off, leaving the soldier standing alone in front of you.
